The Department of Justice’s website has been intermittently down and up in the past hour, and we can only imagine hackers and government agents fighting for control like a scene out of a movie. Universal Music’s homepage has been down for the past hour as well.

In response to the Megaupload case, the Anonymous Twitter @YourAnonNews account wrote: “The government takes down #Megaupload? 15 minutes later #Anonymous takes down government & record label sites. #ExpectUs.”

Update: As the dust settled, Anonymous released a statement claiming that it took down the Department of Justice, Universal Music’s website, the RIAA, and MPAA. The statement also includes personal information about MPAA chief executive officer Chris Dodd, including two home addresses, phone numbers, as well as information on his wife, and children’s names and ages.

The statement reads, “We Anonymous are launching our largest attack ever on government and music industry sites. Lulz. The FBI didn’t think they would get away with this did they? They should have expected us.”
